How are online casino games divided?

Have you ever been to a real casino? Then you know that they usually don’t just throw a bunch of games on the casino floor at random. Slot machines have their place. Video poker machines have their own zone too. Table games are usually isolated into a dedicated section. And poker games have their own room or roped off section, depending on the casino.

The same goes for online casinos. At Palace of Chance, we make it easy for you to find what you’re looking for. We’ve slotted our games into four different categories. These include Table Games, Online Slots, Video Poker, and Specialty Games. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know so that you’ll be set the second you step onto the virtual floor.

What are Table Games?

Perhaps you have heard of table games as those games we play at home with the family such as Monopoly, Pictionary or Scrabble, however there are also specific table games that refer to casino games only. These are the casino games that involve a deck of cards and a dealer. You can think of a table game as a game that you’d actually get to sit down at a table and play. So in a real casino, if there’s a table and a chair, it’s a table game. This includes Blackjack, Baccarat, Let ‘em Ride, Pai Gow Poker, Red Dog, Pontoon, Tri Card Poker, Casino War, and loads of others.

What are Specialty Games?

At a live casino, the table games section usually houses not just Blackjack and other games mentioned above, but also games like Roulette and Craps. But at Palace of Chance, we put dice games and other games of chance that don’t involve decks of cards into a category called Specialty Games. You’ll find games like American Roulette, European Roulette, French Roulette, Hot Dice, Multiplayer Roulette, and Craps in the Specialty Games section. You’ll also find scratch games like 5 Diamond Jackpot and bingo-inspired games like Roaring Twenties Bingo. Keno, which you’ll often find in casino lounges in Las Vegas, are slotted into Specialty Games, too.

Is Video Poker the same as online poker?

No. Online poker involves playing against other players. But at Palace of Chance, our video poker games pot you against yourself.

As long as your hand ranks on the board, you win. There are tons of video poker games available at Palace of Chance, so we decided to give them their own dedicated section. You’ll find 16 different variations, so ante up, have lots of fun and good luck!

What kind of slot machines do you offer?

Over 80 of them. And all kinds. Love the old 3-reel classic slot machines where all you need to do is line up three symbols? We’ve got them. Prefer video slots with bonus rounds? We have those too. Love the big progressive slot machines? You’ll find them all at Palace of Chance. Our Slot Machine section is always expanding because we work with our software partner to bring you new games several times a year. So if you don’t see something you like (which is impossible) check back tomorrow for something new.

You can get access to all Palace of Chance categories through one easy-to-use piece of software, downloadable for your PC. If you’re on a Mac, use Instant Play. And don’t forget, we support smartphones and tablets too, so you can play on the go.
